There are a few things that people have been bothering me about so I decided to post a response.
#1. "Fix your picture. It's not showing up."
Well I would be delighted to fix my picture if I knew what the hell was wrong with it. It seems that Blogger, the people who host my blog because I am too cheap, have an issue with the way things are currently set up. Which is unfortunate. For the moment, there is no picture and there will not be for the foreseeable future. Deal with it.
#2. "Um, you have a good blog and all but what does Lyrinoir mean?"
Ah yes. The esoteric pseudonym, Lyirnoir. That has a bit of history which you don't need to know but it will fill up a post so you are going to hear it. About 6 years ago, I started getting into online games a lot. Things like Starcraft and Anarchy Online. For these games, it is important to have a screen name that is both original and meaningful on some level. Admittedly, many people have really inane SNs but for a true gamer, there is kind of joy in finding that one name that fits you and no one else has.
For a while I went under the name Xancha. Xancha was not an original creation but rather a character from the Magic the Gathering CCG universe. It kind of bugged me that my name wasn't original but no one else commented so I kept it for a while. Maybe three years ago, I started experimenting with original name based in English and came up with Lyric. Lyric emphasized a love of music and the Lyric SN quickly became the standard for my SN. About a year later a metaphorical brick fell on my head and Lyrinoir was born.
Lyrinoir is, as you have probably guessed, a fusion of Lyric and the French word Noir, meaning black. Thus you get Lyrinoir or dark song. Other names have cropped up in recent months. Viatera became one of my mainstays. Stemming from Latin, Viatera literaly becomes "Way of the Earth" Faralyn is another favorite of mine. Faralyn doesn’t have any real meaning but instead suggests the idea of distance. Other names I have gone by include: Shalomar, (a reference to the terrible action show, Mutant X) Sharshona, Tsukikage, (Japanese for moon shadow) Mahorem, (a combination of Latin and Japanese meaning Magic Thing) and Achnax.(the reversed Xancha)
With so many names, it is sometimes hard to figure out who I am if you run into me online. But now you have a better idea of "Why Lyrinoir?" and a better look at me in general. Hope you enjoyed it!
Muah!
